Seattle resident here. Yamauchi bought the Mariners out of respect for the area. Nintendo’s American HQ is in Redmond, a city just E/NE of Seattle.

This makes more sense regarding the best baseball game of all time. Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball. I still love that game.

Jim will forever break the chains of love.

Can’t wait for someone to post Shigeru’s whole “A rushed game is bad forever. A delayed game is eventually good” picture. (which of course ignores that delayed games such as Aliens: Colonial Marines, Duke Neukem Forever, Daikatana, or Blizzard’s Titan were either commercial disasters or, by Blizzard’s account, so bad…

In short: When you are drawing objects in perspective you imagine one point somewhere in the picture (for example the far end of the street) and use that as your vanishing point. Every surface should aim at that point.

When you’re hard at making licensed tie-in games it’s easy to assume they’re just in it for an easy paycheck. Releasing something two years later when they didn’t have to shows some dedication that belies cashing in.

You obviously have no idea how gamers work.

I owned that game. Literally and figuratively. Took some effort, but I ended up making Carnage my bitch. :D

I wish. Pixel art is expensive to make, and underappreciated, especially by some young folks who don’t have nostalgia for the style.

But shit yeah, I’d buy it.

Well, we could call them all Columns clones.

So Bejeweled Clones are now called Candy Crush Clones. King has won. Evil has triumphed over good.

I hope Warner Bros. gets it ...

Aw hell yeah, let me get that old stuff

Some early impressions and factoids:

Great, great read.

A shame media companies didn’t do anything for our gay bondage fetishes from MGS2.

Demon’s Souls FOREVER!

How weird that the line came out this way.

“It’s a real shame to build something so beautiful and not let people inside.”
